All that is apparently standing in the way of Oleksandr Usyk from getting his shot at the undisputed heavyweight championship is the green light from Tyson Fury. Egis Klimas, the longtime manager of the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion from Ukraine, suggested in a recent interview that they had done their part in

Mark Taffet has a wall full of college degrees.  Not to mention a resume that’s surely the envy of reunion classmates from his days at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. But to hear him tell it, the former head of HBO PPV began scaling a professional mountain that yielded roles in some of boxing’s

After nearly 11 months out of the ring, Seniesa “Super Bad” Estrada is ready to make up for lost time.

Eddie Hearn is under the impression that Canelo Alvarez’s recent operation will not necessarily prevent him from keeping his usual fight schedule. Alvarez, the undisputed 168-pound champion from Mexico, recently revealed that he underwent surgery for his left wrist. Alvarez, 32, sustained damage to it during his trilogy with Gennadiy Golovkin in September, which Alvarez

There is a quote often attributed to Leonardo Davinci that reads “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” This feels like apt wisdom when it comes to analyzing Dmitry Bivol, whose approach in the ring is unpretentious and fundamentally adherent, but at the same time one of the sport’s most puzzling riddles for his opponents.  On Saturday

Universum had a full house (12,000 spectators) at the Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen last night (Nov 5) but unfortunately most came to watch two fights between famous influencers and Youtubers. In real boxing, heavyweights Zhan Khossobutskiy (19-0) and Mourad Aliev (6-0) both won easily against overmatched opponents. Khossobutskiy stopped Hussein Muhamed (17-1) in the

Abu Dhabi – In a mandatory fight for the WBA light heavyweight title, Dmitry Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) retained his championship with a dominant twelve round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Gilberto Ramirez (44-1, 30 KOs).

Dmitry Bivol retained his WBA “super” belt at light heavyweight against mandatory challenger Gilberto Ramirez, who lost for the first time in 45 pro fights thanks to his superb ring generalship and masterful defensive skills. Ramirez successfully forced a fast pace by averaging 73.2 punches per round to Bivol’s 53.6, but Bivol won by keeping

Errol Spence Jr. hasn’t revealed who he will fight next now that his showdown with Terence Crawford has been, at the very least, pushed into 2023. Crawford suggested during his Instagram Live session Tuesday night that Spence will fight longtime rival Keith Thurman. Spence repeatedly has said in recent years that he won’t fight Thurman,

In front of another sold-out Hollywood Fight Nights crowd in Los Angeles, CA, ‘King’ Callum Walsh and Serhii ‘El Flaco’ Bohachuk scored impressive knockout victories in the feature fights on the Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions event, broadcast globally on UFC Fight Pass.

Dmitry Bivol and members of his team couldn’t help but laugh. They think it’s ridiculous that Gilberto Ramirez even suggested Bivol ducked him, especially since the unbeaten WBA light heavyweight champion embraced a showdown with the icon considered boxing’s best pound-for-pound prior to Bivol’s victory over him. Bivol addressed Ramirez’s claim during a preview of

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Gilberto Ramirez is looking to accomplish for his Mexican countrymen what Canelo Alvarez couldn’t do – beat Dmitry Bivol.

This is what is called a stay busy fight for Culcay. In the co-feature heavyweight Granit Shala (12-0) meets Venezuelan Jose Luis Garcia (9-3)

After openly struggling with making the 147-pound weight limit, Danny Garcia sought greener pastures. Ultimately, the Philadelphia native would do just that, as he opted to move on from the welterweight division and embark on a new journey as a full-fledged junior middleweight. In his first fight at 154-pounds, Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs) squared off

Ukrainian Super-Middleweight Contender Serhii ‘El Flacco’ Bohachuk, (20-1, 20 KOs), will make his long-awaited return to the ring against veteran southpaw Aaron Coley, (16-4-1, 7 KO’s), of Patterson, CA in a scheduled ten-round clash for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Title on Thursday, November 3 at The Quiet Cannon/ Montebello Country Club and broadcast live

IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is fully focused on securing a fight with WBC champion Tyson Fury before the month of March.
